Thanks combo I have tried this previously but just for what I want I'm not sure about it. But thanks for the suggestion and making a contribution to my knowledge - I had not seen the help article previously. Chris

Hi Mike Yes it certainly is worth keeping upto date on these things. At the moment I am trying out 'AllMyNotes Organiser'. I like the way it emulates Windows Explorer and ease of identification of topics. I'm going to try 'NotesKeeper' next When I try to access the 'Google Keep' my Browser...

Thanks everyone for your responses. I'm now spoilt for choice! My needs are small i.e. I only need about 50 records - so I will evaluate over the next week or so Cheers Chris

Thanks Rick998 Mike Lewis I will give both of these a look. Something simple is what I need (to keep info on builders, plumbers, electricians etc) Cheers Chris

Thanks mintjulep for quick response. I'm just looking for an app that I can store names; telephone; area of work/expertise etc - very similar to an address book. In fact I suppose a simple address book app would suffice. I'm not interested in it being store in the cloud, just on my desktop...

Hi Some time ago I used Microsoft Cardfile to store short/small pieces of data in a simple manner. I found it straightforward to use and miss having it available. Does anyone know if this would still work with Win 10 and if so any idea where I could perhaps obtain a copy. I know it was shipped...

Thanks to all of you who have responded to my query. I am not confident enough to download and install previous drivers for my audio chipset. I have sat back and pondered the issue from another perspective and found a workaround. Instead of using ‘Stereo Mix’ I have set Audacity to record...

I have previously used Audacity to record streaming audio. After some time I have attempted to try this again, however when I set it to record I get feedback. I have tried amending the settings but Stereo Mix is missing. In older incarnations of Audacity I was able to fix this by using ‘Stereo...

Andy Of course, it is awhile since visiting TT, having retired 11 years ago, but that should not have stopped me from being courteous and recognising the help my fellow TT'ers have given me. Hopefully remedied now. Best wishes to all Chris

Thanks goombawaho. Took your advice and hard drive passed. Thanks to both you and Rick998 for you help and guidance, appreciated Chris

Thanks Rick 998 and goombawaho I have resolved my issue by going into 'Disk Management'. There I found that the HDD in question had a partition which was unallocated. I therefore went through the process of allocating that space and hey presto I have a working partition. I can live with that. [I...

Hi Rick998 Thanks for the link. Have tried it but to no avail. Even using that GUI the HDD still stubbornly remains at 32GB I think, as it is a couple of years old I will let it pass on to the HDD scrap yard Thanks Chris

Hi hoping someone maybe able to help. I have a SEAGATE Freeagent external HDD which is supposed to be 500GB. However, in the past, it has been formatted in such a way that it only returns 32GB. Every time I try to reformat it, I can get nothing other than 32GB. Not sure what I’ve done in the...

Thanks all. Yes I am looking at home backups and very much appreciate all the comments made. I had heard of Veeam previously but had assumed it was not for home use. I will evaluate that as I have a large amount of docs/spr’s/video and images which would be too large for One Drive which I...

Thanks Salem - I've learnt one thing from this post - "There's more to backups than meets the eye". But I know from being a member of Tek-Tips that someone can help or point one in the right direction. My wants are relatively simple or that's what I thought. I just want to automate backing up...
